By focusing on how members of different Native groups interacted with one another, this book places Indians rather than Europeans on center stage.Midtrød uncovers a vast and multifaceted Native American world that was largely hidden from the eyes of the Dutch and English colonists who gradually displaced the indigenous peoples of the Hudson Valley. In The Memory of All Ancient Customs he establishes the surprising extent to which numerically small and militarily weak Indian groups continued to understand the world around them in their own terms, and as often engaged- sometimes violently, sometimes cooperatively-with neighboring peoples to the east (New England Indians) and west (the Iroquois ) as with the Dutch and English colonizers. Even as they fell more and more under the domination of powerful outsiders-Iroquois as well as Dutch and English-the Hudson Valley Indians were resilient, maintaining or adapting features of their traditional diplomatic ties until the moment of their final dispossession during the American Revolutionary War. 606 $aIndians of North America$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 606 $aIndians of North America$zHudson River Valley (N.Y. and N.J.)$xGovernment relations 606 $aIndians of North America$zHudson River Valley (N.Y. and N.J.)$xPolitics and government$y17th century 606 $aIndians of North America$zHudson River Valley (N.Y. and N.J.)$xPolitics and government$y18th century 607 $aHudson River Valley (N.Y. and N.J.)$xEthnic relations 607 $aNew York (State)$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 615 0$aIndians of North America$xHistory 615 0$aIndians of North America$xGovernment relations. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xPolitics and government 615 0$aIndians of North America$xPolitics and government 676 $a323.1197 700 $aMidtrød$b Tom Arne$f1976-$01574759 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779183803321 996 $aThe memory of all ancient customs$93851185 997 $aUNINA
